Interesting that 4.3in is now considered “mini”. Back in 2011, many of the flagships (including the Samsung Galaxy S2) were 4.3in – or less. Meanwhile, the Samsung Galaxy S4 has a 5in display, just 0.3in smaller than the original Galaxy Note, a device that was dimissed by many as too big, but defiantly went on to sell millions.

Speaking of large devices, we should – according to Japanese language site ameblo.jp – expect the Samsung Galaxy Fonblet’s display to measure 6.3in diagonally.

We’ll take that with a pinch of salt for now, as the Samsung Galaxy Fonblet is thought to be a variant of the Samsung Galaxy Player 5.8, while the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 has been tipped to measure 6.3in.

And of course, none of the other specs live up to the Galaxy S4 name! Pffft...
First OEM to churn out a top specced 4.3 or 4 incher might get my money. Til then: bye bye, Android. You're too shrill for the big screen

I agree,
I don't want a 5" slab of glass.. Why are there no droid phones out there with top spec hardware but with a 4.3" edge to edge screen and quality construction? I ditched my S3 for aa Razr i cos the sammy was to big and plastic....

Speedyg,
I guess I'll hold out for the Yotaphone.... It's Android, though *omg*
Or I'll shoot a used Z10? Heck, I can always go back to Symbian and 200mHz processors d'oh

Damn, now I confused myself.
But there's hope - I mean, how much bigger can these phones get before some mufacturer see the opportunity to bring back "small"?!
Until someone comes up with a viable alternative to a large display for content consumption, I can't see phones going back to being small.

I think there's the suggestion that MOTO have a new phone with top specs coming soon. Also HTC's one S replacement is rumoured to have a 720p screen, the one S was 4.3" and the One and One X are 4.7" so it seem likely your device will be announed soon ddc.

Well fingers crossed.... There is defo a gap in the market for a quality build top spec hardware droid blower without a massive screen.... Moto X mini??

I quite enjoyed the HTC One S... nice sice etc... but its battery couldn't handle my kind of usage. I didn't even get 6 hours from it. Otherwise I might still have it.

Don't forget the PenTile display, non-expandable storage and easily damaged body...the One S was far from perfect.
